Thing is, renewables don't need copper. Definitely nice to have, but aluminum will substitute with only minor losses. And intermediate solutions like CCAW (copper clad aluminum wire) are already in use.

Edit: every material and technology that we use, has around it an invisible cloud of alternatives that we could have used instead, but don't (yet) use, because of cost, or history, or politics.

(With few exceptions: air, water, silicaceous rock, calcium rock, iron, carbon, sodium, phosphate, perhaps aluminum.)

Claiming that "X is a show-stopper" is just displaying ignorance of this penumbra of alternatives.

I call this "frozen world" fallacy: the idea that we are stuck forever doing exactly what we do now, with exactly the materials we now have.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 10, 2022

He has since deleted the Tweet, but it is an indicator of how out of touch he is when it comes to providing a free and equitable platform.

Maybe, but Twitter is such a cesspool at this point it's more likely I won't be needing it.

There comes a point where one must draw the line. It's each individual's choice to make.
People have Dorsey a lot of shit for being part time CEO of Twitter and Square. Not sure how an even more split CEO is supposed to make things better
From what I read here, they throw punches at transsexuals, and write some light hearted jokes about conservatives. It's mild. Probably an excuse so they can claim to joke about both sides without genuinely doing it.
Oh I was only confirming the downvote, not the lack of reply.

But "it should be obvious.." is the Proof by Assertion fallacy. It's not obvious to me so I asked you what your basis is for saying this. Since I haven't followed Musk to the degree you apparently have or come to your conclusion based on the amount I have followed him, can you point me to some specific tweets or actions of his that substantiate your assertion?
...of the intolerant views that they subscribe to that have been covered time and time again during this saga over the last few months.. oh but wait, there is intolerant views on the right too? id wager a fair bit that any right leaning employees of Twitter, intolerant as they may be, are snug as a bug in a rug right now, as are the centrists

I've found several 4-port N5105 systems (which are barebones, so BYO DDR4 and NVMe at about $100 add'l for 2x8GB and 512GB) for around $145 [1] shipped on Aliexpress. I also found a Core i3-1115G4 based one for $195 shipped [2], which I've personally decided to order. The i3-1115G4 is nearly twice as fast as the N5105 [3] and this is the first I've seen something with it available for less than $300. The iGPU is excellent for the price point too [4].

So comparing the N5105 system linked vs the Odroid-H3+, you save about $40 AND get a case with enough thermal mass to passively cool it AND two more 2.5Gbe ports.

People just don't know Musk. Falcon Heavy was delayed for 8 years. It took 8 years longer. He still got it to work. With all 3 rockets landing simultaneously at the same time.

SpaceX also beat Boeing with a smaller budget (NASA gave more to Boeing) in sending astronauts to the ISS. Boeing still is not able to get a successful test launch 2 years after SpaceX got the first astronauts to ISS from US domestic soil.

Then there's Tesla, where the Model Y, despite being double the price of a Corolla, outsold the Corolla - https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2022/10/tesla-model-y-passing-...

If you can stumble into so many achievements by luck. Or just by oh, lean on a few Shotwells and engineers.... then why are companies like Meta and Snap etc in the trash bin? Why is Boeing still stuck on the ground? Why after a half a decade of Tesla killers than nobody is getting killed but legacy automakers (all declining revenue and deliveries).
For sure, but two things:

* most people just want to use the defaults

* if you've never played the game before, it's not clear how you should customize the controls

It is amazing that for every game I looked at there was a core of power users who did propose different schemes that you can just adopt. But it does suck that the game does not necessarily show you the steam deck buttons you need to use.
not a good signal to send to all those lazy liberal programmers at twitter, but why would you worry about brain drain or morale at the company you just bought, but also seem to actively hate and have tried all summer to smear and denigrate. 4-d chess, I am sure
With regards to the API, they shut it down because there were people building apps with the stated intention of taking users from twitter and building their own platform.

I’m on my phone and don’t have a source handy, but it was a serious enough concern to force Twitter to do what they did to the API!
Free speech for ONE side of the political spectrum. So glad Elon fired the horrible leadership team. They have not innovated in a long time, the stock was a massive under-performer (until the takeover arbitrage trade), and the platform had been decidedly biased.
I think we need to expand our vocabulary a little on this subject. A lot of people seem to think that these "bots" are just limited to "buy crypto today" type posters.

What they don't realise is that the comment they are reading right now could well have been written by a bot.

Not necessarily. A number of these scripts either configure a package manager or the shell script contains the binary itself which is unpacked when the script is run.

> Almost none of them found multiple multi-billion dollar companies and become the wealthiest person in the world. Do you think there's not anything different?

Lots of stuff is different. I know lots of people with very very wealthy parents. They don't want to run businesses... so they don't. The number of people who have the will and means is probably quite a lot smaller than the people who have the means.

Anyway you've just dodged the question by implying "surely there must be something" but I'm asking what it is. To clarify further, I would consider the marks of a genius to be someone who is either a prodigy (ie: exhibits mastery of a subject at a very early age or with little experience) or who has made significant and particularly novel contributions to a field or multiple fields.

Maybe that's Elon, I don't know.
It would not be hard to get advertisers to move away from Twitter. Their ad product has been very weak for a long time.
I think the classic conservatives are a dying breed. Alt-right conservatives generate outrage, and clicks and views. They add an irreverent touch to an otherwise kind of boring ideology. They "say it like how it is". They make it cool.

I don't like it, but seeing it grow all over the world makes me think that's the reason why.
They had a,point. Making something a standard when only one implementation of it exists is not prudent.

There was (and still is) no independent implementation of SQLite that was battle-tested even a bit.
It's not systemd specific though? Other than DBUS and sd_notify the same things are supposed to be done for things started from e.g. daemontools?
Really nice PDF. I'm digging the homegrown feel of it. As someone just observing this and tinkering in the periphery, it's awe inspiring to see the amount of progress in such a short time on Stable-Diffusion. Thanks to the authors for putting this together and sharing it with us for free.
More accurately is the ruling class wants to stay rich, and if they can stay rich without needing an educated and non-poor populace, all the better, because the hungry, disconnected and illiterate do not start effective revolutions. You see this in many resource dictatorships, since you don't need your populace to create your wealth.

In dictatorships where they need the populace, then they are in a tough spot, because the only way you get rich is having a developed population productive enough to tax, which you see in Singapore, China, Dubai and Iran somewhat.

It is this kind of authoritarian regime that needs the internet, but also wishes they didn't need the internet in the case of Iran and China.

We haven’t been able to trust public pgp keyservers for a decade or more (possibly never, really).

So now we’re back at having to trust where-ever we get the proof from, whether that’s the file hash, or the public key.

(Which, as you say, is what package managers provide, and if you don’t trust your system’s apt/yum/pacman/whatever, then you have a bigger problem that trusting any random install shell script)

>Respectfully, I have not found that to be true. No one side has a monopoly on the lunatics or the level headed.

I really disagree. I think you have fringe folks on the left but outlandish ideas are mainstream amongst conservatives. For example, 70% of republicans believe Joe Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 election.

https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/70-percent-republ...

You just aren't going to find such strong belief in anything that absurd on the left.

>When I find myself making snap judgments about an issue, I dive in to the opposition, doggedly seek out the underpinning ideas, from academic or level headed folks.

I agree! Obviously some subjects like anti-vaxxers or election deniers don't have level-headed or academic folks who can support them.

That's really why you need intense moderation because quality content doesn't rise to the top. An 'anything goes' environment tends to promote the absolute worst ideas, as people like Gwyneth Paltrow and Joe Rogan have a far wider audience that actual scientists. If you allow them to lie about important issues, the lie is going to suffocate any academic or level-headed person who has something to say.
That can't be right. Triglycerides are the bulk of body fat. Now, presumably if you eat fatty tissue the triglycerides in the food will be broken down by enzymes into simpler molecules that can be absorbed by the intestinal walls, and perhaps those molecules may be directly usable. Is that what you mean? If so, then do you know what triglycerides break down into?

Some of the brands at the top of the new HDD price/GB list are pretty suspicious and should probably be avoided:

* "MaxDigitalData" is selling relabeled disks from other manufacturers under their own brand name. Given the prices and some of the reviews, I strongly suspect that they're wiping SMART data on used drives and reselling them as "new".

* The "Avolusion" external drives all have reviews complaining that they stop working unexpectedly.

Iran lost $17 billion in economic activity by cutting off the entire internet a few years ago for a week. They have not done that this time, making internet outages at specific times of day, etc.
He had help from the government, specifically Mike Griffin:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Griffin#Career

The rocket landing stuff largely borrow from DC-X and the spinoff work at NASA (+Lars Blackmore), all originally Strategic Defense Initiative stuff.

He used all that money from Mike as collateral for loans to Tesla.

He deserves some credit for impressive financial engineering and attracting talent under the guise of purpose ("going to Mars") but he took a lot of shady money along the way. And then there is the Saudis..

Most people who work with Musk 1:1 know he's unpredictable but pretty mentally unimpressive.

Summary:

> The weakness stems from the ability to enrol a device into an existing network, rather than requiring physical intervention (such as pressing the encryption button on the unit) to have it request access to a network. The enrolment capability isn't enough, however, to cause the weakness on it's own. Deriving the device's passwords from their MAC address makes the Device Access Keys predictable. Although these devices are transparent on the ethernet network, everything you need is transmitted, in the clear, across the powerline network. In effect, the only secret you need to join the network is being broadcast, in the clear, between devices who's very chipset ships with a packet sniffer allowing you to capture it. The only 100% guaranteed way to defend yourself is to stop using Powerline devices.
I don't assume that someone knows the context, I assume that they could understand the context if they looked at it - that it can be explained to them to a useful extent.

Because if you don't understand that, then your understanding of the problem space is not going to be sufficient for any useful purpose.

And if you're a manager, then the company fucked up by putting something technically complex within your purview.
I view this as America needs to do better. Not sure why that's anti-American. You fan be good to somebody to tell them the truth and for them to apply themselves. Lie to them and speak American exceptionalism is not pro-America. Its brainwash
Why would you deactivate your Twitter account when you could change the username, biography, and photo on your account, then stand poised with a cutesy handle to demand that absolutely none of your followers "dox" you as you start tweeting so hard they will eventually have to close a whole ass Russian consulate?

Yup it's a cat and mouse game, and how much money these dictators represent.

Thankfully? in the case of Iran, many customers do not want to interact with Iran because of US export regulations, so if it breaks that, all the better ironically enough.

Anyway I guess the game thing seems somewhat impressive, I'm not sure I'd qualify it as "genius" but that's something.
You keep talking about people as if you they are one homogenous block that you deeply understand and represent.

Most people really couldn't care less about SpaceX, Tesla or the future of Twitter. And they definitely wouldn't put Musk at the pinnacle of cultural relevance.

It's a minority of the population that is on sites like this that care. And for many of us there is a much more discerning and skeptical attitude towards Musk and his antics.

That was commonplace back in those days, especially where they lived, and in many parts of US and Europe.

What is more problematic wasn't the marrying to a 22 year old where both agreed to and loved each other, but much older people just sleeping with girls of same or close age (which, in rock, includes Led Zeppelin, The Beatles (yes, those), the Stones, and others), or arranged marriages of similar girls to 40 or 50 year old "respected" rich persons (also a common thing for poor families to ease their burden of supporting many childs and/or get some dowry and connections)
For all practical purposes, doesn't Shotwell run SpaceX and Elon just shows up to give "input", whenever the capital raise du-jour is necessary, and to do the marketing and PR?

No.

> The other problem is that the media & political rhetoric today has damaged our ability to be effectively stimulated by “oh fuck” moments.

First of all, it’s still not everybody’s backyard, especially not the people in power with the ability to change things. Out of sight, out of mind.

> That was this year. Oh, fuck...?

Yep, you get it, HN crowd for sure gets it. But ICEs won’t be banned from EU until 2035, Paris Climate accords goals are going to be missed by huge margins, oil companies posting record profits.

You’ve got to have something that “oh fuck”s everybody out of driving their car, cancels their international travel plans, and encourages as many of us as possible to switch to studying STEM. We basically need a global “Pearl Harbor”—the type of event that warped US around seemingly single minded war effort—except it’s not a war against fellow man, and it’s planet scale.

Otherwise we lose.
I’d say “not coextensive.” Unfortunately no single word that means exactly that.
Very nostalgic, but I managed to lock it up almost immediately.
I find it very interesting how the person who put together this open letter has a company they started to sell Gitea, and is not even a maintainer of Gitea. So he hasn't even voted. Seems like a very suspicious conflict of interest that should be taken into account, and is very likely acting in bad faith.
There are bots on every platform and advertisers are well aware of them.

They simply factor them in as a cost of doing business.
Binary means 0 and 1. It does not mean 0, 1, or 2 1.7% (or even 0.018%) of the time.

Of course, the word "binary" is a social construct, and "spectrum" is a social construct as well. However I would expect that in a forum focused on computers, binary generally means 0 or 1 with no other values possible even 0.0000001% of the time.

"Some men choose to identify as women." Really? This is not a serious statement that engages with the science behind gender transition.

Non-tautological definitions of “man” and “woman” that are consistent with your definition of “gender”

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re looking for, but this seems like a non-attainable standard to me. Language is _so_ fuzzy. Do many nouns have ‘non-tautological’ definitions? Like, could you define ‘house’ or ‘boat’ ‘non-tautologically’?
