Is it really the fibonacci sequence being a true missing link here? Or does the pattern just need to be pseudo random and/or increasing?

/edit

seems I read a bit too fast. They do explain why the Fibonacci word/sequence is better.

> You can think of the Fibonacci sequence laser pulses as two frequencies that never overlap. That makes the pulses a quasicrystal: a pattern that has order, but no periodicity.
If it is just an inconvenience, then this exercise is unnecessary. This is more for those who believe they cannot survive without it (inconvenience vs survival).
It looks like most comments here ridicule the idea. I think it's something that for some reason is discussed more in Europe than in the USA.

Basically, the point here is that (1) if any given computation can be performed in several ways, and one of them consumes less energy, you should strive to use it, (2) if you can get a similar result by using significantly less energy, you should consider it.

The reason for that is the scale: at this point we can not ignore the fact that the number of computing machines in everyday use is so high that even small changes that impact a large number of them also impact the whole environment. So obviously we are talking mainly about biggest players mainly. But not only: if your small library or app becomes so popular everybody starts to use it, you can make a difference, too (plus your users will love you - nobody likes resource hogs).
> No, you cannot store enormous quantity of energy a fully renewable grid would need, it has never been done, and we need a solution right now.

Good thing electrolysers tend to be roughly on time and on budget.

> It's an existing tech, that is known to work, and work at scale.

Scale enough to fully exhaust the available U235 in one year if we move all energy generation on to it?

Thanks for sharing the video. Very interesting points they bring up, our brain is efficient and resists change so it needs to be trained to thrive in adversity and the concept of seeking quick solutions than rather work for the change.

I also am very interested and very skeptical of the idea of limiting my action and not let it consume my energy.
I thrive in flow state, so the idea of not giving into the flow state but instead cap it to few hours feels a little strange to me.

I always thought it would be cool to have a FOSS project that was wiki-based. People could submit edits which would be run through CICD, and accepted automatically if they improved performance (after passing tests). Contributing to projects has certainly gotten easier since the pathches-to-mailing-list era but it could certainly have less friction. As well I think it would feel more "competitive" especially if you're optimising individual functions (== wiki pages) for speed.
You need a backup a little your claims if you deny IPCC numbers, IPCC is considered very serious, and I said to another commenter, I have way more trust in IPCC numbers and planning than random internet commenters.

The thing is, nuclear don't need CO2 taxes to be profitable, and is low carbon, if your solution was that cheap and safe, it would be more invested than nuclear is.

Generally, it’s been useful for my teams to have open discussions about establishing coding standards amongst themselves. We’ve also made code reviews mandatory as part of pull requests although it’s not as effective for smaller teams that want to be more agile.
Really neat! My only complaint is that the handling is very sluggish. Also it might be nice to have a first-person vew, maybe the camera view contributes to the sluggish feeling.

I love the procedurally-generated landscapes. It really captures the feeling of driving on unfamiliar roads.

I'm curious how the physics works. Is this using raycast wheels? A couple of years ago I made a racing game for Oculus Quest using Godot[0], based on Godot's "VehicleBody", and getting the physics to work satisfactorily was a major headache. But a procedural world would have made it so much cooler.

You might consider going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. It’s world renowned for diagnosis. My wife had various, random symptoms and all local doctors were either baffled or suggesting absurd things in desperation. In two days a doctor at Mayo correctly diagnosed the issue and offered suggestions on treatment that worked. The local doctors were both disbelieving and angry.

Diagnosis was POTS (brought on by pregnancy) and the solution was exercise. Most doctors gravitated to a cardiological issue and prescribed various blood pressure medicine - none of which helped.

Aside from actual medical capability, the place is astoundingly futuristic. The entire process is streamlined. Everything is done within a few days, doctors and lab visits are coordinated and scheduled dynamically and in real time, discussions and investigations are immediately synced with an app, etc. It was…mind blowing to say the least.
for code related questions DDG has always been awful, that's for sure.
They say that falsifiability is a best case scenario and base of the pyramid, as you move up you have to construct dynamic models of measurement to deduce even a probability of being true.
Just to add to this there was a good Financial Times film [1] recently that covered the after effects of Brexit. Covid and Ukraine have allowed politicians to divert attention away from the economic disaster that Brexit has been, and have been handy scapegoats, but the fact Brexit has damaged the U.K. economically is undeniable.

How about we don't use 10 kg of fossil fuel derived methane to launch a 100W solar panel which will likely last 1/10th as long and cost 100x as much just so it gathers 3x the energy?

Sure we might be able to make the methane with sunlight, but having that ability removes the point of doing it in the first place.

But by what miracle does the interconnectedness recover or enliven the animal once alive and beautiful?

There is, in fact, no miracle to be had. You will have a more rounded view of history, but history is written by the victors - it is heavily biased from the day it was written.

IMO, it is impossible to find the truth in history - only hints.

It's not helping them invite your friends to their app (which is impossible). It's helping you invite them if that's something you want to do (probably by listing the messaging apps you have and giving you pre-compose buttons; EDIT: confirmed by sibling comment).

If you don't want to use that feature, don't press the "invite friends" button and that code will likely never run. If you don't want the app to even theoretically have access to your app list, don't give it the permission. Is it not a runtime permission? That sounds like Google's fault, not the app's.

This mirrors my own experience, I actually wrote a bit more about it on my blog, albeit perhaps in the context of writing software that's actually maintainable "How boring or novel should your technology choices be": https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/how-boring-or-novel-should-...

There are options out there that are kind of not very exciting, but have good documentation, tutorials to do most of the typical stuff, answers to most of the common problems and decent performance as well as the ability to scale.

I also recently wrote a system to process millions of documents on a single node based on PostgreSQL, Java and MinIO as an exploratory project (to also explore things like database partitioning), it worked pretty well and I did that in a few evenings "Pidgeot: a system for millions of documents": https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/1-4-pidgeot-a-system-for-m...

I guess at the end of the day you just have to pick something that works, maybe a bit on the boring side and stick with it as long as it's the right tool for the job.
This is not the issue.
Floating point numbers have problems when A and B differ greatly in magnitude, then A-B might easily be equal to A and so ((A-B)-A)LARGENUMBER can still be equal to zero, even if B was e.g. 1.

This is not a problem with floats. This is an inherent* result of the design constraints. You can not fix it and there are no alternatives without this flaw which offer any of the same benefits as floats.

Any operation between two floats is the floating point number which is closest to the result calculated as real numbers, that is the magic of floats.

Floating point numbers are a near magical type, which for many applications are not only a good choice, but the only one which makes any sense. It is near impossible to imagine modern engineering without them.

In a hypothetical World where Brainndance type simulations ever become real this would definitely be up in the top 100 of things to experience, the sheer amount of recorded footage from this (unnecessary) invasion, for seemingly Online consumption, is beyond belief.

And it ranges from everything from memes, to propaganda, to things like this: we went from Human tragedy on tap via 24 hour news, to now social media based content delivery and the next will be to have some sort of simulated experience like a BD.
This is more or less what purr-data does (but then it's tcl to JS), but PlugData works differently. Basically, it assumes that patches only change through user interaction. Since all user interaction goes through PlugData's GUI, it can check and synchronise the patch content with Pd whenever the user does something. I do intercept messages to UI objects, to detect when their state has changed.

The big advantage of that is that we can change the way the UI looks without modifying any Pd source code. PlugData actually works on top of an unmodified pd-vanilla, which saves me a lot of maintenance work.

The only limitation with this is that dynamic patching (using messages to pd to modify the patch, like a meta-patch) doesn't work yet.

SD Inpainting, erase, replace, add a mask and text prompt to replace objects
IIRC there is some research in psychology that seems to prove this. It involves a questionnaire about political topics in which you take a representative sample of people on the left and right, then split that population into quarters. One half is told to answer the questions truthfully, as they believe. The other half is told to answer in the way they think someone with the opposite politics to themselves would answer.

The results are then compared. The findings are apparently always the same when this is done: conservatives pretending to be left wingers give answers much closer to the real left wingers than vice-versa. That is, the right understands the left but the left doesn't understand the right. It's been some years since I read about this but iirc the failure mode was that the left imagined people on the right as having far more extreme views than they really do, amongst other problems.

W.R.T. the construction companies - see my comment elsewhere in this thread about the quote-sourcing feedback loop. Not so many companies are willing to talk to journalists about illegal immigration, because they know journalists are left-biased and because it'd realistically have to be the CEO doing it, and he/she is busy. That in turn means journalists don't hear alternative perspectives, causing them to become more biased, and repeat.
Never lose control of your software architecture and automate routinary tasks
As a software architect, I’m tired of using multiple generic tools to design software arquitecture (Draw.io, Figma, Word, PowerPoint…).

I spend too much time trying to coordinate the team and managing too many documents with too many versions. In the end all this documentation is usually not clear enough for all stakeholders (developers, product managers, domain experts…). In sorteo, with the current tools it is very difficult to keep control of the projects and an updated documentation.

That’s why I’m working with Clariteia (of which I’m cofounder) on a unitary solution to manage everything regarding software architecture and day to day communication easily. We are picking the best features from different tools that we use, tailoring them for software teams, and putting them together in one place.

Do you have this kind of problem with the tools you use nowadays? Would you like a solution like the one we thought? Having your feedback would be incredibly helpful!

> “… an adjustable base memory cable for your neck, and is charged through an A type C-USB cable pod“

All you need is to have DNS servers reading ENS' equivalent of MX records. Failing that, you can even have that implemented at the email client or OS level.
Space-based solar power is not a good method of transferring power, besides the debris issues that schiffern mentioned, it's incredibly inefficient.

Where on Earth do we beam power long distances in any other application? If it was a good idea we would be doing it instead of running power lines through complex terrain like over mountains.

The normal case of efficiency in power beaming is an efficiency of only around 40% (if that). At that point any gains you get from putting your solar panels in space are immediately lost in the transmission to the ground. At which point you've wasted a ton of money putting solar panels in space for no gain in energy as opposed to building them on the ground.

As far as I'm aware, any attempt at space-based power is some segment of scientists misleading politicians for funding grants. It doesn't make any technical sense.
A remarkable effort but one performed by a Frenchman after the French robbed the Rosetta Stone from Egypt (and then later robbed by the English from the French). A European scholar was given the opportunity for this grand achievement while their Egyptian peers had to work from the European's notes.

I don't personally see a big role for direct carbon extraction from the air, but this article mostly sounds like negative BS rather than a rigorous argument.

The cost of European electricity today for example is in no way relevant to working out if direct air carbon capture works as part of a 2050 net zero plan.

The key question is, at what economic price can you generate near firm zero carbon electricity, via any combination of means, anywhere on planet Earth. That's where you would position your carbon sucking machines. Just like a previous generation would move your aluminium smelters to hydro dams.

And then that direct capture needs to compete with every other idea for stopping carbon entering the atmosphere in the first place. Remember, human CO2 emissions are only a small fraction of the CO2 cycle. Stopping adding fossil CO2 is the super easy win, but intercepting some fraction of that natural cycle before it gets into the air is the next step down in energy efficiency.

That's the real threat to DAC.
This must be an error. I bought it years ago and I was grandfathered for life. Get in touch with them; they are great devs, I'm sure they'll solve this.
I don’t mean to police you and you probably don’t mean harm, but what you said and how you said it is bound to rub someone off the wrong way in the future.

In general, don’t tell people who are going through something that you empathize with their struggles, real and painful struggles which you have no share in suffering, because you benefit from their stories by making you wiser about life. It’s also presumptuous to say that you understand other people’s lives or experiences because you heard or read a small part of what they’re going through.

Empathy is about seeing another person as a dignified equal, making no judgments, sharing that person’s pain, and gaining nothing from it.
