Streetwear has been associated with luxury/higher fashion/snobbery in the mainstream for at least a decade (though its influence both on and by high fashion goes back to the 90s). The biggest fashion trend of the 2010s that has extended into the 2020s was the rise of the streetwear and sneaker culture from the streets and into the mainstream, often at luxury price points.

Most reactors today are older or based on older designs, but this is largely for regulatory reasons, not because we don’t have the technology.

In the early 2010s, a lobbying campaign against new nuclear in the U.K. basically started, including people like the deputy prime minister [1] complaining that it was too slow and renewables would be faster and it wasn’t necessary.

Fast forward to 2022 and we still don’t have enough renewables, the UK is not very windy at the moment so there’s not enough base load capacity, and we only have 3 active coal fired power stations left. Oh, and we’re in an energy crisis and France, which is normally a net exporter to the U.K., is needing to import energy, making the crisis even closer. It would have been pretty useful to have had a new nuclear power station online right about now.

Gosh, Neuromancer is such a light précis of the genre it defined: it’s exciting to think this might be a multi season anthology doing a deep dive on the world, and also anxiety inducing thinking they might try to cover the whole story in one season, missing all the nuance along the way.

Backblaze is not the government. I mean if you're paranoid about it you could submit a bug bounty with a temporary email address and gauge the response. If I were Backblaze I would like to know about this and would be willing to at least send you a pair of new replacement drives to get that one back, assuming this kind of disposal is not their SOP. It's possible they ran this drive through their vetting process and it didn't meet their spec so they sold it off. The logs might just be from that testing/vetting and any data even on real production backblaze drives I would assume is so striped-out that a single disk would not have anything of recoverable value.
Except Neumann's a billionaire and isn't involved with WeWork anymore after all that, so I'm not sure there's even that much to be had. What's left is the little people who eked by to get a job at WeWork and then got boned by Neuman as well.
It's estimated prior to the IPO in 2019, he had cashed out close to $778m through late-stage private stock sales and consulting fees.[1] Then it was litigated, and he only got $480m + $50m in legal(!)[2]. Unclear if how much of those two are additive vs the same amount reported poorly over time. It was also rumored he sold more stock before those final rounds with Softbank.

Plus, he still has something like 88m shares still in wework[3]. Hopefully he didn't margin-loan those shares.

Safe to say, he did better on wework than anyone else - a rare moment where the founder of a failed company has a better outcome than the investors

I don't know anyone who looks specifically at the page count over hype/reviews, but books are a physical media and people kinda have an idea of what a book should look like & cost. If we're really talking about 40 pp vs 200 pp., a hardbound 40 page book would look as silly on a shelf as you would reading it on the beach. Something that could be described as a pamphlet doesn't seem worth $15. Finding that tipping point of where a book looks like a book and also gets great reviews could be important.

> This may be an unpopular opinion

I believe it's not so unpopular.

I believe it depends on the demography, I, for one, am tired of seeing things I grew up with being ruined by poor writing and/or low interest in keeping the source material as a pivotal element of the narration.

Few examples

- Foundation wasn't bad per se, if it was marketed as fan fiction. As an adaptation of Asimov's works it's really bad and also chose a timeline that's totally unsatisfying for everybody, both newcomers and book fans. Starting from "Prelude to Foundation" was a much better idea to set up the stage for future story development and as an introduction to the characters.

- Rings of Power, same sin: it isn't Tolkien, it is a fan fiction with some actors cosplaying Tolkien characters that, at its center, portrays a very silly, very boring, romantic story between the female protagonist and the male villain. Teenage good, if the villain was no other than Sauron, AKA "The Lord of the Rings".

- Andor, that I too consider good, is, from an objective POV, just decent. Decent enough in this time and space to stand out compared to the endless list of monstrosities that Disney recently produced especially the Star Wars themed ones, but certainly not a masterpiece, as many have called it.

- Willow: lets' not talk about it. A mediocre movie from the late 80s that has gained a cult status only because, IMO, the video game was reaaaalllyyy good, that had only one reason to be re-adapted to modern times: scrape the bottom of the barrel. It is so bad that you can actually feel sorry for he people who worked at making it.

Neuromancer? I have no hope that they'll make something good, the era of cyber punk hype is long gone, it would already be a miracle to get it back, let alone have an honest adaptation of Gibson's ideas.

During the camberian explosion of the cyber punk movie trope they already tried with Johnny Mnemonic and had to basically rewrite the script from scratch because the book, that was only 10 years ago, had a lot of things that would poorly adapt to 1995, the movie was just ok, with lots of hits and misses, it worked, but it's not memorable.

Neuromancer is 100x harder to adapt and this time it won't be a movie, on real theatrical big screens, but a TV show, on a streaming platform.

There are too many things that could go wrong, to be optimists.

But, there's a big but: William Gibson himself is on board, so I will probably watch it nonetheless.
I loved it too! I'd say second only to Andor.
>They are jealous of not being included.

It's better to instill in kids early that it's important to cultivate deep rather than wide social connections. Teaching your kid to stand up for themselves and make friends that don't care about blue chat bubbles or fashionable clothes is necessary. Because there's always gonna be some group you're not going to be cool enough to be a part of. Maybe you're not pretty enough, athletic enough, maybe your parents aren't rich enough to send you on the holiday trip the other kids can go on, sooner or later everyone's going to learn the lesson that this isn't how you build genuine connections.

I noticed this even as an adult in my 20s, people who hadn't ever learned to deal with social rejection carry that teenage group behavior into their own adult life and can't deal with exclusion.
I think that if you have free/easy money, with low risk of a meaningful downside (e.g. going to jail), and there is increasing competition from other VCs with access to the same money, then you greatly increase the risks you're willing to take. It's a game of homeruns, not singles.

So to answer your question, I think this is way they think: "If this goes wrong, I don't have any real personal skin in the game, and there are a bunch of smart people at other firms that are putting their money in. I better be in because if I don't allocate this capital it goes away. And if I miss a big one, that's worse than losing."
Are you comparing deaths so far or total lifetime mortality of the effluent from both processes?
Staying inside should be obvious by now. These pathogens evolved to exploit the fact that people get together in close quarters and breathe together.

Cold/dry air: most respiratory viruses we've looked at survive for longer in cold, dry, dark air.
It was a joke and I didn't "get rich as shit."

You would do well not to judge people so much; it's unbecoming and makes your entire point of view effortless to dismiss.
> I also see that HP-UX, AIX, and Solaris are apparently still maintained and get releases, which suggests that they are still being used in production in some places.

When I worked for $(LargeDefenseContractor) we used Solaris for a defense system we were developing. Over time the older units (based on older hardware) would be passed down to the national guard. I would not be surprised if Solaris was still being used in obscure places in the military.

Solaris 7 was a pretty awesome OS as I recall, but pretty soon Intel and AMD started supporting linux as a workable OS option for their server chips. Then linux on the cloud took off and the rest is history.

It’s questionable whether the price can stay as low as it currently is though. The three major manufacturers of wind turbines are basically operating at a loss on the turbines themselves. The price can’t go much lower.
> Oh, and the Honor Harrington series.

Hard military sci-fi as a TV series? It can only disappoint. Give it a decade or so until the current trend of making everything as palatable as possible to as broad an audience as possible has died and people start making things that they feel work for the source material again.
I think with all adaptations, there exist brilliant filmmakers who can adapt any work at the same level as the original, but our odds of getting that person and all the right circumstances to allow for total success are relatively low. More likely is really bad design by committee, or something that contains pretty good ideas but does enough wrong to lose the magic.
I worked on a system deployed on AIX for a few years. We used it to distribute batch workloads in parallel across a cluster of machines - no other software and OS did such a thing, maybe still doesn't. The machines themselves were PowerPC RS6000's which only ran AIX. The company already had a close relationship with IBM because they'd been running mainframes for decades. They made tons of money so saving money on licence costs was not important.
>Multi-day settlement is good for market stability. If there is an error, it gets picked up in clearing.

Why is this a good thing? There are consequences to actions, lets just live with that. If you mistakenly order something you didn't mean to the solution isn't to "catch the error" and prevent a transaction from happening, the solution is to make an new entry/transaction that reverses the previous one. If you end up having to eat some cost to reverse the "mistake" oh well, lesson (hopefully) learned you will be more careful next time.

There should be no settling, no clearing, every transaction should be immediate and final.

This would open up the possibility to not have any arbitrary market "open" and "close" times. There should be no need to settle up, clear, reconcile for the day/week etc. All transactions are immediate and final and the market can run 24/7 365.

The government could do it, too, but there's a proxy war in Ukraine and that takes precedent.
> Neuromancer is amazing and groundbreaking.

It (probably) was groundbreaking. Is it amazing though? I tried reading it recently, it read like a generic pulp novel. After 100 pages, I saw no reason to continue.
>Being able to blend between prompts and attention weightings smoothly from a fixed seed is definitely a fantastic and underexplored avenue;

Agree totally. Before SD was created, i thought that it is impossible to replicate a prompt more than once. Deterministic/fixed seed is a big innovation of SD, and how well it works in practice, it is simply amazing.

From the article:
>Those who tried this method, however, soon found that, without analogue filters to run through the harmonic content of waveforms, picking out and exaggerating their differing compositions, most hand‑drawn waveforms sounded rather ordinary and often bland, despite the revolutionary way in which they were created.

Yes, the technique which the people of riffusion created, displayed to everyone, and shared it as well, it is the holy grail of electronic music synthesis. I would imagine it is has some way to go before it is applied to electonic music effectively, integration with some tools, practice of musicians on the new tool, some fine tunning etc.
Look up their parents. It's not a coincidence they crossed path with NY Times reporters looking to profile them. Nepotism teens doesn't have the same ring though.
"Unfilmable" for me is James Tiptree Jr.'s "Up the Walls of the World". Half the novella is spent on a gas giant inhabited by giant telepathic manta rays farting jet fire. The other half is spent in the <body> of a solar-system spanning semi-material, invisible/ dark <creature-ship-machine> where all the protagonists are transferred as disembodied minds. The day is saved by a strong telekinetic/ telepathic computer programmer who merges with the <beast-thing-machine-of-the-stars> and a spontaneously arisen AI from Earth (early '70s too... It Came From The Mainframe).

Put that in Foundation's movie reel and film it!
Actually, courting republican-leaning voters would be an effective way to get them to care about global warming, or at least consider purchasing electric vehicles. They're already spending $80K+ on trucks, so why not buy a Tesla Cybertruck next time?

Musk's overtures towards conservatives might make a bunch of nerds feel alienated, but could be worth it if he can bring the other half of the country into the green market. Those overtures don't make him a conservative, though, just a car salesman.

Anyway, imagine conservatives wanting to "conserve" the environment -- a novel thought! But if you see the world in black and white, and left and right, then those types of syntheses are not in the realm of possibility.

I'm eager to start using foreign data wrappers in PG, but there are close to zero benchmarks. Is my database going to break when transactions start piling up because an API I'm using is slow? Will my TPS drop significantly due to longer transactions? In other words, what am I paying for all this good stuff?
That's not a pretense. The word you're looking for is pretext. Rejecting the mainstream is completely a legitimate position on its own. The only way it can be a pretense is if it's done for appearance only. Well, maybe there are other ways, but that's the only one I can think of at the moment.

Maybe this is confusing because of the phrase "false pretense", which is redundant and can lead to some people thinking that there's such a thing as a pretense that isn't false-ish.
You'd think "increasingly-inevitable catastrophic destruction of Earth's biosphere" would count as a "war", given the projected casualty counts potentially dwarfing all wars combined.
I think you have to be very careful with the word "we" here.

Coal's market share in the US has been eroding for 15 years and will likely fall below nuclear soon. It has been replaced by natural gas and, more recently, renewables.

The reason that we "worldwide" have been building lots of coal plants is that China has been building lots of coal plants. This is despite China also building world-dominating quantities of nuclear, wind, and solar.

The reason China is adding so much coal appears to be that provincial officials get to book coal power production as economic growth internal to their province. By contrast, the electricity from renewables in Xinjiang shipped over HVDC transmission lines does not boost their province's economic growth numbers so they do not want to use it even if it would be cheaper.

Ask HN: Shuold I buy a new ThinkPad E14 with soldered RAM or a used T480?
I was nearly up to buy a new Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G2 Ryzen 3 4300U 16GB RAM, when I noticed that it may have 8GB soldered RAM. It may be that only E14 or L14 with Intel CPU do not have any soldered RAM.
I asked an acquaintance of an acquaintance in a local PC repair (a rather mediocre one) shop regarding how many times they had to deal with broken soldered RAMs in Thinkpads. He said sort of 0 with thinkpad's, but 2 with ASUS (during their whole practice).
But in case of broken soldered RAM you'll most probably need to replace the whole system board.

Now there is an option to buy a used T480 with i5-8350U 4 cores, which may have a better casing material and better battery life, for just 50 euros less than the new E14, but with basically the same essential features.

Should I buy a new thinkpad E14 with soldered RAM or an older T480 used thinkpad?

House of the Dragon was based on Fire and Blood, and I thought was much worse than LOTR. I felt like I was duped into watching Downtown Abbey with dragons.

Foundation was unwatchable but I liked LOTR. Not perfect but Galadriel's storyline was well done and nice to a female hero in a series that typically leaves them to the background.
