> Climate change is not just about electricity production.

Agreed, but that was the part that could be addressed with nuclear.

> There was a wide array of solutions available 40 years ago, including, but not limited to nuclear.

I think we're in agreement, except for the word "solution". The things you mention are not solutions, but rather mitigations, bandaids, things that slow the pace of climate change. Which still would have been extremely useful to buy us more time to decarbonize.
Yeah Automation Direct is already in this space with their Arduino PLC[1] which has compatibility with their existing modules/etc.

I'm only adjacent to the space and have use their stuff for some home automation but from what I've seen it's more important that you can get replacement parts and reliability.

How is "increased energy" a side effect?
There are numerous scenarios where the house is worth less than zero dollars. For example when there's a large overdue tax bill attached to the property.
If we develop a proper biofuel then we are going to wish we still had carbon powered cars imo. The issue with carbon fuel is that it gets put into the atmosphere and not recaptured, thus warming the planet and disturbing ecology. Once a method is used to capture this carbon organically, however, then carbon just becomes a transient used delivery device and a store for solar energy that powers the underlying photosynthesis to restructure atmospheric carbon into solids. A tree trunk or a pound of green algae becomes a fungible unit of energy. Everything changes.
SBF would be a nobody without Sequoia and others throwing money at him. I'm more concerned about the judgment of monied people who are so desperate to find their own Adam Neumann, that they forgo common sense and invest based on 'feel'.

https://github.com/racket/zuo/blob/main/local/tree.zuo is a pretty good example.

It’s nothing like Bash; it’s a Lisp dialect.

The obvious comparison is Lua, which is generally the standard embedded language people use when a scripting language needs to be tiny. I compared its size; Zuo is 55% the size of Lua, so apples to apples, Zuo is only a little over half the size of Lua. On the other hand, Lua uses a Pascal like syntax which is a good deal more Bash like than Zuo.
Why would it collapse the whole system? These blockchains run themselves, the ones worth a shit anyway. They were here before these companies, there's nothing fundamental that prevents them from being around after.

I am not really convinced of Tether having trouble anymore. I've been hearing it for years. They seem to have gotten lucky and cleaned up their act before collapsing, every time they do an audit or anything the last few years they show full collateral backing their assets in circulation. With regard to binance, I couldn't tell you one way or another, but they've survived more than one cycle so they probably know what they're doing.
Lets be clear here: CBD is not a CB1 or CB2 agonist (or antagonist, or anything else). It is active at the serotonin-1a autoreceptor (like buspirone) as a partial agonist and then only at dosages that are infeasibly expensive at current market pricing. An adult human typically requires multiple 0.3 to 0.6 gram (that's 600 milligram) doses per day to reach a physiologically active level.

Dosing and pricing it like THC is simply placebo. It is not THC. This study is based off obviously false premises.
Fwiw I work with a lot of PM and have a number on staff. I really appreciate their work. But they’re not engineers by in large and shouldn’t be directing engineering work. It’s critical to have a general manager that is an engineer and respects the work of the PM, but can make decisions like “this is good speculative engineering work” and rewards failure and slipping on product roadmaps.
Wow. Awesome!

I hope Ford and other EV Manufacturers make retrofit kits though - and similar for the charging stations already deployed. Lugging an adapter for all non-Tesla EVs before the, what, 2024 model year would be irritating. Assuming, of course, they are on board and this doesn't turn into Betamax/VHS, Blu-ray/HD-DVD, or HDR10+/Dolby Vision again.
Wow what kind of crappy systems did pre-Musk Twitter “engineers” build? The system should degrade, as the article describes, without the engineers constantly pouring baby unicorn tears on the servers to keep them happy. Sounds like some of the fired engineers needed to be fired.

They're elected representative. You were asked in the most official way possible, with elections.

Both in your national election which then decided the government which chose your country EU representative for the council and commission, which then created the law and decided to put it to a vote and where your government had a direct veto right, and in the European election where you elected the parliament that voted on the GDPR.

I recommend you inform yourself on the institution that govern you and how you can influence them, you seem to be deeply uneducated about them.
The most noticeable, iconic component of swing is the upbeat delays, of course.

Actually this subtlety with the downbeats could be one of the differences between "smooth jazz" and the real thing. Smooth Jazz tunes use pop beats. There may be swing, but the downbeat in that musical format is typically mechanically steady.
Your comment is ridiculously uninformed, and based on tropes that have been around for years and completely debunked. CBD is not addictive. Anxiety is not a normal state. Treating anxiety is not an escape and is medically necessary for many people.

"Errors always get handled because the linter points them out and the devs don't cheat by setting up multi-function try/catch blocks"

My experience with Go has been that errors get "handled" by propagating them up the stack manually and then logging them, without keeping proper track of how the error got there. So there is error handling but only in theory, in practice what you get is a sort of hand-written stack unwinding logic with far worse functionality and consistency than exceptions, at 100x the verbosity.
If you're utilizing the inflation figure, are you really the average Joe, and if you are utilizing that information are you really going to stop with the headline figure? Inflation is more nuanced than is captured in a single variable.
The thing is - it isn't. Where is the EU-based top tier cloud player? One to compete with Google/Microsoft/Amazon?

There is a huge EU project which in theory is trying to build those competitors - Gaia-X - but as is typical with such projects the results have been poor. Looks to me like a lot of the money was wasted on "blockchain" scam projects.

The thing is - there is real significant potential in the EU for some of the existing large colocation/VPS provides to become just that only the EU's own implementation has failed.
I'd like to take this opportunity to point out a common statistical manipulation - extending an axis far longer than is at all relevant to the data, creating a misleading interpretation of a slope.

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=world+hunger%2... is a much more readable and accurate graph.

Note how both are ~equivalent for a majority of the time, barring 1943 - 1951 (slight edge for food security) and 1960-1970 (larger lead for 'world hunger'). At 1970, food insecurity takes and maintains control.

This is likely because it - as discussed in the rest of the thread - encompasses more, and is a more useful term for scholarly discussion.

Keep in mind that EVs with their regenerative braking use their brake pads effectively never. Modern EV brake systems actually have to deliberately not use their regenerative braking once in a while in order to exercise the brake pads and make sure that they don't rust into uselessness from utter disuse.
Repeated success in life is correlated with both those things, but they are not naturally correlated with one another.

There are a lot of very smart people who dropped out of the race. Being smart can mean you don't need to learn grit, and maybe you never do; maybe the first hard thing comes, and you do something easier instead.

There are also plenty of diligent hard workers who never amount to much more than a small business. Hard work isn't worth much on its own.

Another problem with VR is a question of scale. Zuckerberg seems to be counting on VR being a substitute for social media, Zoom, video games as know it, etc.

The problem might be you can spend all day reading, typing on a computer, scrolling on a phone, on zoom calls, watching TV. It seems you can't do that in VR. VR might be a high intensity activity that you can do a little bit every day that may never take a significant bite out of the status quo, even if VR is successful on its own terms.
They are slightly different.

Hunger, in the strictest sense, is about a lack of calories.

This made sense as a metric to track, when the issue was almost entirely people who starved to death. Now however, first in the developed world and also in many developing countries the issue is also calorie quality, usually a lack of access to non-junk foods. You can now be both malnourished and obese.
I just want to say, you have some of the most fantastic coverage of events like this.

It feels like having an investigative journalist on payroll. The delay between an Animats comment and this showing up in the news is significant. Thank you!

They've at least turned off signups.

There are still people who believe. This is the top comment on FTX on Coinmarketcap, posted yesterday:

$FTT -- Take a screenshot of this post

1. Someone is going to buy out FTX and this exchange is not shutting down. By someone I mean Elon Musk kind of people.

2. No. FTT isn't going to wipeout if we talk about the fall, most of the cryptos have all fallen significantly. So a crypto going down from $24 to $3 doesn't mean the are going out for good.

3. $8 Billion Dollars as some here are fidgeting to understand isn't a large number if you look at the entire market cap of the crypto sitting at $800 Billion and $3 Trillion sometime back.

There are people who truly believe. And there are those who exploit that belief.
US people certainly care about their privacy however there aren't any strong institutions left in the US anymore (outside of the Military) and the political system in the US give a choice between two corporate-owned parties.

The statement "The authors are badly paid researchers" is completely incorrect. I chose one out of the 7 people mentioned in the article at random. Check the other 6 and I'm certain you'll find at least 3 are wealthy.

I don't know what to tell you. I am a researcher (previously at Yale, now at MIT), and I very rarely hear other researchers complain about cancel culture. Largely, I hear horror stories of abuses of power with no repercussions or accountability. It's only, again, a small cadre of professors complaining about this.
> It has no moving parts, is half the size, and twice as powerful as Combined Charging System (CCS) connectors.

It's just a connector. Why did CCS have to be twice as big then? What's the tradeoff CCS took?

No control group, and the only results are self-reported. Someone ought to establish some kind of trustworthiness rating system that penalizes institutions and researchers for publishing this kind of trash.

I was going to also criticize the journalist but they actually included the abstract and links to the actual study which is above and beyond what most do. It doesn't excuse publishing headlines like this though.
This seems a bit too wordy to demystify the concept. Here's a simpler example.

1. Bank A offers you 5% interest for a 1 year deposit. You deposit $100 of your own money. You are unlevered. Things go well and after a year you receive $105, a neat 5% return on your investment. Or things don't go well, bank A turns out to be a scam and you receive $0, a -100% return.

2. Bank B offers you a loan for a year for 4% interest. You borrow $900, together with your own $100 you deposit $1000 at bank A. You are levered 1:9. Things go well and after a year you receive $1050 ($1000+5% interest) from bank A, you repay bank B $936 ($900 + 4% interest), so you're left with $114, a very neat 14% return (almost triple the unlevered return). Or things don't go well, bank A turns out to be a scam and you receive $0. But now you still owe bank B $936, so together with your own $100 loss you made a -1036% return. Oops.

p.s. It's called leverage because (like a physical lever that allows you to lift something much heavier than without) supplementing your own funds with lots of borrowed money allows you to tackle something much bigger than using only your own money, like buying a house or starting a business or getting 5% on $1000 instead of on $100.

Narratives imagined for instrumental music reveal cultural intersubjectivity
> For example reducing time to prepare grant applications, or to add 1s jitter to stock trades.

The 1s jitter idea was actually moderately successful in the game Grepolis, the successor to Tribalwars, but not perfect. Tribalwars is a browser based MMO RTS game, where a typical game takes multiple months, and a typical attack may take anywhere because 20 minutes and 12 hours (in real time) to reach it's target.

When you sent an attack in Tribalwars it'd have a timer to it, but the battle itself would happen instantaneously. A normal attack just steals whatever resources are available in the village being attacked. In order to conquer someone else's village you must have a successful attack with a "noble" in it, which is a very expensive and slow unit. Attacks can only be a certain size (limited to the population of each village), so in order to take a city you would launch many "clearing" attacks at once at the village you want to conquer, aiming for them to battle slightly earlier than your noble attack, to clear any defences beforehand.

This led to the phenomenon that the best way to defend your village was to leave your village completely defenceless for the initial n-1 attacks clearing, and then slip all your defences back home before the nth (noble) attack arrived.

This started with players optimising their defence to arrive 1 second before the noble attack arrived. However the attacking players adapted, but would perfectly launch attacks based on travel times such that they would all launch in the same second, but maybe 100ms seconds off. This resulted in players using third party scripts with to ensure their attacks, or defences, arrived within milliseconds of desired times.

This all was really far from the point of the game, which was a strategy. To remove this aspect of the game, in it's successor the developers added a random 0-30s variance to either side of the attack travel time. It worked pretty well, but people would still do things like sending attacks, checking if the time was close to optimal, and then cancelling and resending with quicker units if it was not.

It seems like you're conflating the value of crypto with the recent blunders of crypto-focused businesses. The fundamental value of cryptocurrency is being able to self-custody tokens of value without relying on any other mechanism besides the proper functioning of the blockchain and its respective rules. What we're seeing here is a lack of clarity/regulation amongst world governments on how crypto and the businesses that manage them should be treated.

The promise of DeFi has a higher barrier of entry for those unfamiliar with the technicalities of interacting with decentralized systems, but they generally have more transparency in management of funds than crypto-centric businesses. All code running on the blockchain can be audited and so can the funds held within smart contracts. There are plenty of valid criticisms that can be made of various cryptocurrencies with those models of on-chain finance (and even with the value of cryptocurrencies themselves), but criticism of cryptocurrencies deriving from bad businesses that manage them shouldn't be one of them in my opinion.
