> Imagine an Industrial grade mini-computer board similar to a Raspberry Pi (whatever) but rated for operations even inside of a warm engine chamber (possibly with a different, standard fan).

I work in the industry so I can't say too much (don't ask questions)

Fans are not allowed, this system must be passively cooled. Fans just bring in dust and soon the cooling fins are clogged. Not to mention most fans won't last long enough. Remember equipment in this space is expected to work for decades with minimal maintenance.
Turing suggested that, as a first step, he write a program that would enable the Ferranti Mark I to simulate itself....The trace program Strachey wrote included over a thousand instructions—at the time it was the longest program that had ever been written for the Ferranti Mark I. Strachey had it up and running after pulling an all-nighter, and when the program terminated, it played “God Save the King”

How many 'computer programmers' could do this in today's world?
Nice round up

Something I think would be useful would be to stop trying to distinguish any meaning between “text/code editor” and “IDE”. Those 2 distinctions don’t really work today because modern editors have pretty much everything an IDE would have.

It’s an anachronism from a time when text editors really did very little but edit text, most of the modern ones today have debuggers, intellisense, syntax highlighting, code lenses and plugins as standard.

Language servers also changed the architecture even more by moving the heavy lifting somewhere else and being able to plug back into any UI.

It’s much more of a blurred line today.

Even if all the exchanges go down, I would be surprised if BTC completely crashed. It's still highly useful for buying illegal drugs, and for money laundering.

If you notice, whenever there are crypto crashes, the BTC value after everything stabilizes is usually higher than it was before the mania. I would guess this has to do with BTC being increasingly useful for illegal activities.

I notice a lot of puns and memes make their way into act names in the US. I never imagined they'd take an ancient internet meme (tl;dr) and come up with an official sounding wording for it.
Perhaps you have people around you who are not well suited to political, religious philosophical discussions or perhaps you don’t enjoy them / can’t entertain them.

Personally, I find the only interesting conversations technical or philosophical in nature. Just the other day, I was discussing with friends how ethics used to be a regular debated topic in society. Literally, every Sunday people would gather and discuss what it is to be a good human.

Today, we demonize one another, in large part because no one shares an ethical principal. No one can even discuss it and if they try, many people shut down the conversation (as you mentioned). In reality, it’s probably the only conversation worth having.

Surely, the following two statements can be true at the same time?

1. Binance is run by criminals and all sorts of people would go to jail if anyone looked at their books.

2. Binance is solvent.

Not saying this is the case, but there's many other reasons for a crypto firm to be shady than their insolvency.

"I'm not denying this, but I find it a hypocritical view when you then compare it with mangas. 99% of manga is produced as an attempt to generate a franchise that will spawn anime series, anime movie(s), real-life movie(s), collectibles, and boatload of related merchandise."

The most popular western comics tend to be owned by a corporation like Disney that hires and fires artists in search of a bottom line. The comic will stay in production until it is no longer profitable.

The most popular manga seem to have some amount of ownership retained by the original author. The manga tend to come to an end when the author retires.

This doesn't mean manga artists are free of capitalistic concerns and western artists are all hacks (though emotionally I feel they kind of are...) but at least when it comes to the most popular books the two systems don't seem to operate that same way.

When you said 360 camera, I had forgotten about the el cheapo versions with only 2 lenses. I'm used to 8-16 lens setups doing live action 360 VR video. It's been years now since I was involved in that, but the 16 camera system was the one from Google, and because of the extreme overlap, every object was visible in at least 4 lenses at any time. Because of this, it was some of the most compelling 3D available at the time. Funny, with 16 cameras each with their own microSD card that had to be data managed (puke), we felt it wasn't enough as it only produced a cylindrical output and not a full sphere. So, like the glutton for punishment fools we were, we mounted an additional 6 cameras to the rig to capture the zenith/nadir and would stitch/composite into the final.

All of that to say, generating 3D photogrammetry images was something we never even considered as a purpose of the footage. We were soley focused on creating VR content. Never mind that some of us involved absolutely would acquire footage for the sole purpose of creating 3D models to be used in SFX for post work. I guess sometimes, you're just too close to something to see it?!?!
Similar things happened on multiple social media and content platforms. I'm glad this is starting to come to light now.

I ran into this sort of issue with the Steam Deck, too. Initially ordered a slower-but-still-recommended cheaper SD card. Figured I could deal with the slower write speeds as that should just mean slower downloads.

I loved the Steam Deck from the onset, but was always confused why nobody mentioned how slow and unresponsive the main menus were... Yeah, hindsight is 20/20.

Games still ran fine off of the slower card, but every part of the experience saw a dramatic improvement after I switched to a higher-spec SD card.

The first computer I bought was a 386. But I tried the used machine market before, to see if it was possible to save some money.

My father drove me to a company that had their used system for sale. It was embedded in a desk, the screen was minuscule.

I don't know what impressed me more: that when I asked (politely, looking for a reason to walk without offending the seller) how much memory it had, they started counting bytes included in the manual, or the 8'' floppies. Those were big.

Given that you have to admit you do not understand the subject (what it means to be conscious), none of what you said has bearing (aside from being interesting, I appreciate the response). And you must admit to that, since this is neither philosophically nor scientifically solved.

As we do not understand our own consciousness and how it functions (or whether or not it functions in me the way it does in you, if it exists at all - anywhere), we cannot compare a replication of that system to ourselves except as a black box. When seen as a black box, a philosophical zombie and a sapient individual are identical.

Funny this. 20+ years ago I had a similar (K6 II) machine w/Win98. I used one of those sketchy "IE Extractor" apps downloaded from who-knows-where to remove IE and replaced it with Mozilla. Performance increased noticeably; apps opened near-instantaneously upon clicking.

Since then, I've never had a PC/OS combo as fast as that. Need to work on that now...

But the article doesn't disagree about that ?

The issue is that a couple of degrees is likely to be reached this mid-century, and things might continue to get worse from there.

So the article explores the less likely scenarios that might happen in the higher temperature ranges.

We are not slashing rates, that is not going to happen.

Those times are over. We can not slash rates without inflation becoming a larger issue. We had a nice run but this is back to the historic norm that inflation is always lurking in the background and highly constraining on central bank policy.

You are just repeating a standard narrative that is almost certainly wrong. 6-12 months out a mild recession happens and then the Fed slashes interest rates and the market takes off.

I personally suspect this is all a form of denial of how ugly the situation is economically. Once inflation catches a spark it doesn't just go out because basically everything economic in terms of a recovery is inflationary.
Ahem.

[EDIT] Possible NSFW warning, just occurred to me that I think sometimes they include banner images from films that might be NSFW

https://www.theyshootpictures.com/gf1000.htm

If you're serious about trying to watch a top-list of films from all of film history, you probably just want to use that top 1,000. They have spreadsheet versions you can download to sort and filter and carve up as you please, to get, say, a top-film-per-year list (I wouldn't recommend it because there are some amazing years and some not-so-amazing ones, but hey, you do you). There's also a kind of next-1,000 annex if you want more.

It's serious film nerds applying a bunch of methodology on top of a huge selection of critical lists and such. If you get serious about trying to produce such a list yourself, odds are you'll just end up reproducing most of what they did, and the more-serious you get the more it'll approach their work. Simpler to just use that.

Most of them will probably have disease as the proximate cause. Dysentery and/or infectious diseases that in well-nourished populations isn't too much of a problem.

Some of them may have armed conflict as the proximate cause. The civil war in Syria had as one of its triggers a prolonged drought with associated crop failures, partly attributed to climate change.
I've got an early generation portable USB drive that I've kept for some nostalgia.

https://imgur.com/2XcXCPe - its 128 MB.

I purchased in '96 (or maybe '97). You'll note that it is orange which indicated solid state. There was also a black one which had a spinning disk in that same form factor and held 256 MB.

I used it a few times in between 2010 and 2015 for transferring a file around sneaker net. You'll note that the USB plug is on a short cord - the places where I had to plug it in didn't always allow for easily inserting a short rectangular stick - they either stuck out too far for where the computer was or required moving other things out of the way. This one let me plug it in with minimal obstruction to other things in a cluttered USB port area.
Already!
Thank you for going into it.

You make an absolute pile of assumptions here and the tl;dr appears to be that humans (or just you) are exceptional and inherently above any sort of imitation. I do not find such argumentation to be compelling, no matter how well dressed up it is.
Medieval ship found in Norway's biggest lake
> A professor explained it "lower rates make it easier for businesses to get loans, so they can create jobs!" [...] Where does the theory address whether those jobs create anything worthwhile?

Economics 101 books assume every business is a medium-sized family-owned manufacturing company.

If you're a medium-sized family-owned manufacturing company, your growth might be constrained by access to capital - there might be several different investments in machines you could make, any of which would pay for itself within ~5 years, but you've only got the cash to get one machine. With more access to capital you can get a second machine, and hire the people to operate it - meaning more jobs and more profit.

And of course you'd steer clear of unproductive investments, short-term-ism and empire-building - you're planning to pass this business on to your children and grandchildren. You need a sustainable 10-to-20-year outlook, reliable, well-trained employees and an order book full of satisfied, profitable repeat customers.

On the other hand, if your business model is 1. Use cheap loans to provide subsidised taxi journeys, 2. ???? 3. Profit - the economic theory books don't really explain that.
The referendum to shut down nuclear power plants would have shut down that new one too... but anyway my impression is that there are no recent nuclear plants built anywhere, are there?
You've got a whole lot of misconceptions here.

>Because from my POV here on Earth, just like I can't see the final object fall in a make a black hole, the same way from my POV the black hole also doesn't exist.

Again, until there is an event horizon it is not a black hole. Once it has the event horizon, it is a black hole. Once it at the point that you are concerned about this, it is already a black hole. If you are in a situation where your (misunderstood) scenario is occurring, it is already a black hole.

(I am speaking purely of the gravitational event horizon here, not a causality event horizon a la the observable universe, etc.)

>just like it takes until the end of time to fall in (from the POV of the infalling object)

It does not take until the end of time to fall in. If you were to be launched into a black hole that lacked strong enough tidal forces to spaghettify you, you would go past the event horizon at basically the same speed you were going right before you crossed. If you are going straight towards the center of the black hole, you will be accelerating under the gravitational forces.

>it also means I never see the black hole form.

Again, even if what you were saying is true (and it isn't), by definition the black hole has already formed when it collapses into a singularity (or something closely approximating our understanding of the singularity) and gains this event horizon. Not one atom or quark or any other type of particle more needs to fall in past this point for the black hole to have formed, because it already has. If it somehow formed in some sort of theoretical vacuum where even virtual particles do not pop into existence and never even had a particle or anti-particle appear and fall in, it would still be a fully formed black hole.

>which of course is never, since time never ends

Not really related to the current discussion, but we don't actually know if this is the case or not, either from a philosophical or hard science perspective. There are plenty of cosmological models where time ends, or the emergent property we call time stops being an emerging property because of some other reason, etc.
I know exactly what you mean, I miss that world deeply and I want to spend my energy trying to recreate it. Lately I've been trying to create my own small scale community of strangers to fight against this encroaching sense that connection with randoms is completely lost, unless you shout into the void and if you're lucky someone human engages with you honestly, on a personal level.

All this discussion and a sibling thread made me realise that only us, the Millennials that have grown halfway before and after the Internet explosion, know better than anyone else what this place was for a few golden years, and what we lost. It's on us and only us to do something about it.
As someone has followed the industry for quite some time, I would say that the hype isn't really dying down, but rather that teams are finally having to address the elephant in the room: Pro player compensation is completely out of whack with regards to where franchising revenue/merch sales are.

I'd wager to say that on most civilian vessels, the engine noise is far louder than what the prop could generate. I'm happily using a 600W outboard electrical - while it would be different than with a combustion engine, i don't think it can get much quieter even with better prop-design. It's a blessing! Almost like sailing the boat, i.e. not much louder than a gust of wind.

Energy efficience on the other hand.. It is driven by a fairly average car battery, so every little Watt saved helps keep the drinks cooled.
