> “The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false”

Stop. Right. There.

Where do they get this "unequivocally false"? That sounds like they think they have something "purely objective" in... sociology, maybe? They're using their "purely objective" sociology to judge the objectivity of math, and finding math to be non-objective.

That's insane. These people should be barred from math and sociology.
It depends on what the statements are and to who. If the statements are relied on by investors to make investment decisions, for instance, they better be truthful.
Not wrong, it’s never wrong to call for help if you need help. Call early before you’re hypothermic, dehydrated and your cell battery is dead.

A lot of my buddies rescues are older people who just got a little lost, or slipped down a steep embankment and can’t get back up. The worst ones are when that happens, but it’s been 3 days and the chances they find a live person are more slim.

The SAR people vastly prefer finding people alive, so if you need help, give them a chance for a happy ending by calling.
It's probably the battery life. 128 kb/s AAC is effectively transparent even for music, and only translates to 1.1GB. Even if it's uncompressed (1 channel 16 bit 44100hz PCM), 20 hours only translates to 6.35 GB.

> It does not help the largest implementations, that favor having a lot of small ops flying

There's lots of O(N^2) structures on a OoO chip to support in-flight operations, so if you can fuse ops (or have an ISA that provides common 'compound' operations in single instructions) that can be a big benefit.

For RISC-V the biggest benefit is probably to fuse a small shift with a load, since that is a really common use case (e.g. array indexing), and adding a small shifter to the memory pipe is very cheap. Alternatively, I think with RVA22 the bitmanip extension is part of the profile and IIRC it contains an add with shift instruction. So maybe compilers targeting RVA22 will instead start to use that one instead of assuming fusing will occur?

I was referring specifically to this page:

which says

"Deep Lake Enterprise" and then "10TB of managed data (total)".

To me, that read as if the Enterprise plan is limited to a maximum of 10TB.
>Hydrogen production isn't efficient compared to grid transport and battery/hydro storage

Electrolytic hydrogen production and consumption is not efficient. Mostly because of the consumption end of the equation (~50%, fuel-cell) rather than the production (~70-80%, electrolysis). But nuclear-driven thermochemical hydrogen production is currently being developed, and can theoretically exceed the thermal->electric conversion efficiency of the nuclear power plant:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095965262...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S036031992...

For applications where energy is used for incineration, direct chemical use of hydrogen, or when power-to-weight efficiency is critical, it has some potential: we are really comparing thermal->electric->thermal with thermal->hydrogen->thermal in that case. Such applications account for a decent fraction of total energy use.

It takes time to research and write a factual story, whereas anyone can sit down and write a bullshit article without almost any work whatsoever, with a shocking title that will get eyeballs/clicks and pay for itself with ad banners. It's disconcerting but not sure how anything can be done about that.
The biggest immediate downside for writers of Substack's centralization IMO is that they've started introducing some subtle lock-in with their reader app. Substack is quick to say that you can always export your email list and move to a different newsletter provider. But if your readers have built a habit of reading things in the Substack app instead of their email inbox, then moving your email list somewhere else means your readers will be less likely to engage with your newsletter.

If Substack actually cares about preserving writers' independence, they should provide a way for writers who switch platforms to continue delivering their newsletters to the app. Switching platforms should not force behavioral changes on readers. For example, they could give app users an @inbox.substack.com (or whatever) address. Anything sent to that address will show up in the app. When you export your list of Substack subscribers, you get both their regular address and the @inbox.substack.com address, so you can continue delivering to both their email inbox and the Substack app.

Until they do that, I'll continue to view their claims of putting writers in charge with a measure of wariness. I do think Substack/Substack's founders are sincere, actually. I don't think they're twirling their mustaches, thinking "How can we lock people into our platform?" They're just way too confident in the righteousness of their cause, and as a result I don't think they look inward enough in situations where the interests of Substack, writers, and readers conflict.[1]

(And no, using a paid subscription model instead of ads doesn't magically make all incentive alignment problems go away.)

[1] For example: https://twitter.com/bmorrissey/status/1501568928799244290. When the app was launched, by default they stopped sending emails to people who installed the app, which would hasten the inbox->Substack app behavioral shift I discussed above, strengthening lock-in. They switched it to opt-in after backlash from writers.

That's very likely. But of course, an accidental attack is still an attack. Will Russia stop attacking Poland and Ukraine? Doubtful, unless NATO makes it stop.

Otherwise we can wait for the next "accident" where Russia fires missiles into NATO countries and murders people. All the while they're committing war crimes in Ukraine, day by day, for the world to see.
This is cool and everything, but it seems to me that "relevant" math has changed underneath this argument.

Algebra and geometry aren't as useful as symbolic logic and graph theory these days, sure you need to know a little algebra, but with a high powered calculator, it's more important to understand the algorithms and maybe numerical analysis.

If there is one thing I’d like to have in this decade (well, last decade really but that ship has sailed) it would be a standardized format for WAL.

As an enthusiast cyclist I don't think they is a threat to Garmin and Wahoo. The customers for those are enthusiasts who ride in all conditions and want a rugged device, a device with good battery life, a slim form factor that doesn't look off place on handlebars. Bike computers offer all of those, while phones do it only in a limited way. That has been driving cyclists to use bike computers for years, and not the lack of GPS precision. So I think nothing will change.

More casual cyclists might use their phones since they already have those and don't want to buy an extra bike computer - but that was already true in the past.

The assumption that markets are mostly competitive is deeply flawed. Markets are controlled, managed and monopolized more often than not, via strategies like control of chokepoints (computer chip production is a case example), interlocking boards of directors of major corporations, government subsidies for specific industries (and import tariffs as well), etc.

Case example: acceptable cell phones could be produced today that would last for 20 years using the same internal structure, with decent audio/video capabilities and memory storage, if they were designed to be easily repairable, i.e. if the components that are likely to wear out could be easily replaced (battery, touchscreen, etc.). The operating systems could be locked-in to a standard format, or OS upgrades could be made backwards-compatible.

Major phone manufacturers really are not interested in making such devices, because new sales would fall:

> It's a shame that's what people think cryptocurrency is.

It's odd that people think the general use of cryptocurrency would be happening without them. The incentives to just use crypto as a means of transmitting value are exceptionally low, and before exchanges existed, mostly negative due to the difficulty of conversion.

Which is probably why only a small set of the criminally minded put any effort into using it as a currency in the first place.

The West largely took the "deescalate" approach when Russia invaded Georgia, seized part of Moldova, and took the Donbas then Crimea. It's very clear that these sorts of deescalations also serve to embolden future attempts.

So your position is that Germany will find a reason to sanction Poland because Poland have been accidentally bombed by the Russian Federation? Sorry, I'm struggling to follow. Are you sure?

Perhaps you are still championing the dated notion that Germany is over exposed to the Russian energy market and thus is in thrall to the Russian Federation? I thought since the Nord Stream exploderised that was no longer really the case.

Do not ever, ever say you are taking a train, cab, uber, or bus. Do not ever go "home" again. There are lots of homes. Be specific, as continuing to speak this way is inaccurate, ambiguous, grammatically incorrect and confusing.

Founder of Monica and Chandler here.
It's so easy that the rewrite (aka Chandler) has taken Alexis and me 11 months so far, as a side project, and working most nights and weekends (check the number of
commits).
I know that Monica appears to be easy, and Chandler also, but it's not easy. Making a clone for yourself is easier, although not that easy if you want to replicate all the features. Making a clone for an entire community, which hosts Monica in tens of different configurations, means having a robust CI, a pipeline to package and deploy Docker images, a solid API, and so on and so on.
I thought building a project like Monica was easy at first, but 6 years in, I can confidently say: it's really not.

I agree that my post reads like the no-true-scottsman fallacy, but I think I may be onto something. Compare the very similar phrases "You aren't a real stock investor unless you get your shares in physical paper" and "You aren't a real real estate investor if you buy the brooklyn bridge from a guy on a streetcorner in Harlem." The overwhelmingly common experience of "stock investors" that actually don't own the paper stock is that they are able to sell at market value when they decide to (although its not perfect, see trading halts etc.) I'd argue that the paper stock claim is a real no-true-scottsman. The overwhelmingly common experience of brooklyn bridge buyers is that they are not able to later sell the brooklyn bridge at market value- they did not succesfully invest in real estate. Buying "bitcoin" and trusting the exchange to hold it for you? Hard to say what the odds are but they don't seem good lately

I agree, it's hard to tell if it was intentional. However, it might have been designed to be that way, as a test of the resolve of the West (US, really). It's just impossible to tell, which means we have to respond in a way that will stop Putin from pushing into Poland and other places, yet not pushing too hard on him that WW3 starts.
