Sure, properly developed CO2 sequestration along with the right regulation is a perfectly viable option to renewable-produced battery-electric vehicles. And fossil transport certainly has a role in the world economy for the foreseeable future.

But I'm questioning Toyota's motives here. Just pointing out, once again, that the main competencies retained by most auto manufacturers is design, powertrain manufacturing and final assembly. They have a very heavy vested interest in models that retain large parts of the status quo.

Toyota also famously bet heavily on hydrogen fuel cell-electric vehicles only a few years ago, downplaying the potential of battery electric vehicles. I always though that strategy was a nonsensical direction driven out of an Innovator's Dilemma type situation.

Thankfully, we don't really need the debate. Reality will eventually give us the correct conclusion here, since there is at least one auto manufacturer hell-bent on bringing electric vehicles to market in volumes that would eventually constitute an existential threat to other manufacturers. If Toyota's CEO turns out to be wrong, pure fossil manufacturers will simply be competed out. (Absent political intervention).
This is a very interesting point of view. Can you describe it more in detail or share links to read about the topic "orthogonal cartesian view of the world vs others"?

Thank you!
It's been a family company for 100+ years, and the CEO has almost always been a member of the Toyoda family.
Is 1Password any less vulnerable, architecturally, to a massive hack akin to what happened recently to LastPass? I'm in the same boat as the OP and wary of putting all my stuff somewhere else that will result in a similar breach a few months from now.
>We must harness abundant energy from all possible sources instead of categorically denying one source or another

Would you not suggest doubling down on the cheapest sources of green energy and dispense with the most expensive and polluting sources?

I dont see much point in harnessing tidal energy or coal, for instance. One is very cost effective while the other pollutes massively.
History has even more examples of how planners and regulators are bad at accounting for… reality, really. Or the unexpected creativity of people bent on getting what they want in spite of "well meaning" regulators.

"What harms society" actually has a lot of nuance and variability over different timeframes. I don’t think anybody can define it, actually.

Regulators making nuclear power hugely expensive and activists making it wildly unpopular thus condemning us to burn coal in 2022 quickly come to mind. Or the idiocy of banning plastic straws in the west while the ocean drowns in fishing nets from Asia.
The last Jedi was pretty tough. Magic flying leia, the racing animal subplot that had no impact on the main plot whatsoever. The entire resistance hinging on one guy who is totally stopped so that his girlfriend can give him a kiss.

It was a weird fever dream of a movie even for a franchise that brought us a giant space slug gangster and a backwards talking green puppet

7-9 were better than 1-3, but last jedi was undoubtedly the worst of the new trilogy
I don't really get how you move on from something. Is this something you decide? Something that happens? Can you stop thinking about something only by wanting to?

Whenever people talk about moving on, I feel as if they were talking about using their third arm, that I just don't have.
Cool post. Definitely impressed with Obsidian. Not a huge fan of the UI on iOS. For some reason I keep getting drawn back to iOS Notes for ease of use.
That makes sense, but I thought I'm messing with my router to have faster WiFi and not with some weather radar that I don't even know exists
A wonderfully Go-like piece of magic: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1/src/pkg/image/gif/read...

What's magic there seemed magical at the time because even Go's creators were only just coming to see the power of interfaces then. Now, having a decompressor read from a block reader, which reads in turn from some other place, is not magical, it's just good practice.

This is from Go 1. Unfortunately, that file accumulated tons of other ugliness over time, as it dealt with the real world. I was one of the people who had to make that line less magic. Sorry Rob.
The hard part of building a CDN is scaling it. The best approach imo is to use fly.io to host an anycast IP (with horizontal scaling) and store cache files on disk

Fly.io also has a Grafana dashboard built in for your machines
Getting to vast majority EV is a matter of time. It might be a long time and probably won't be 100%, but it will be close to 100% IMO. Toyota needs to admit they were wrong and start innovating.
I think we'll need a spike.
I’d love to read it, but none of the login options apply to me. Am I out of luck?
Haskell? Not buggy code? I'd say Haskell is the best language to write buggy code. And when I say buggy is not about writing purposely to be buggy, I say it's a maintenance horror show that WILL produce buggy code 100% down the road. Remember, maintenance is 90% of a project life, the initial development is only 10%.
Three main reasons I do not drive an EV:
1. electricity is expensive
2. they take long to charge
3. the range isn't good

It will take a while for me and many of my peers except those who want a status symbol.
The hydrological cycle is already a closed loop system. The water you drink today watered a plant 10,000 years ago, passed through Abraham Lincoln's kidneys, or was drank by Genghis Khan.
Two websites breaches and they already have your 'unique key' (which is not unique if its the same for every website.
Still easier to fix using charging stations than hydrogen though :s
Many countries have laws making electric mandatory in ~ decade
>the first rule of a good mystery story in that you need the audience to have enough information that they can plausibly solve the crime themselves

I feel like I disliked Murder on the Orient Express more for that exact rule.

But I do feel like Glass Onion does in fact deliver to some degree in that aspect. In the first part of the movie when you're lead to believe that it's about the murder of Miles, they do establish motives in order to have the viewers thinking of who it could be. And after the mid-twist that the focus shifts to the true murder mystery, there is a profound lack of good hints because it's not any one of the fingered suspects. If you watch the movie and think to yourself "Who would benefit the most from this murder?", all fingers point at the true suspect.

My biggest problem with the Glass Onion is the peashooter gun.
> an interview with Eben Upton about RISC-Vs potential

This interview is now years-old and is now 100% false, as today we have several competitive-to-Cortex-A7 boards available and ready to ship right now.
In order to negotiate, both parties need to be able to offer concessions. What concessions could Russia possibly offer the US, related to the Ukraine situation, that the US would be motivated to take? Our people aren’t dying and our territory isn’t threatened. Because we’re, as you pointed out, not paying the price for the conflict, we don’t have any incentive to try and stop it… we can’t negotiate in good faith because we don’t have any chips on the table.

We can influence the Ukraine/Russia negotiation of course, by increasing or decreasing our support for Ukraine. But, since they seem to be willing to continue fighting, decreasing aid would be a pretty huge betrayal.
‘Dystopian’ Cyber Firm Could Have Saved Mossad Assassins from Exposure
EVs require a wide and reliable power grid. If the unavoidable climate change is as catastrophic as some predict, that assumption should be challenged. A deep irony of climate change is that access to remaining fossil fuel resources may be what matters more than luxury consumption items like EVs. Then again, status items have consistently performed better than I expected so my opinion may be flawed.
Software ate the world. The years since the Dot-Com Bubble burst is like if the interstate highway system was built after the recession of the 1970s. The Factory Belt wouldn’t have become the Rust Belt if that had happened.
He could be right, but it's hard not to view this in the context of Toyota squandering it's first mover advantage in hybrid cars and dumping a huge amount of R&D cash into hydrogen for fairly minimal returns (so far). They still haven't sold 20k Mirais and I'm not sure who they are expecting to pay to build out hydrogen fueling infrastructure.

A neighbor here in LA has one, and it seems like a perfectly cromulent car, but perhaps arrived 10 years too late and is now a solution in search of a problem.
Part of the appeal for "Tools for Thought" is that by using them we feel we are taking action towards being productive, regardless of whether that turns out to be true of not.

The falacy comes, I believe, from the combination of two facts: 1. much of the intellectual work we do these days simply takes time. No amount of writing can accelerate that beyond our biological limit of learning, so we might as well just sit and think. 2. Just sitting and thinking is considered unproductive and regarded as lazyness, so we believe we should be writing even more instead.

In that regard, using tools for thought may be pointless, since all we need is time to think. But perhaps that pointlessness serves a purpose. Like a guardrail in a highway, tools for thought are not something we "really need", but they're there to at least keep us on track in case we were to drift away while our minds move forward.
Declarative won't necessarily give you cattle. What you want is a continuous automated build process, and immutable images. That way you have a reliable image that has been tested and you know works, you have documented the build steps, and get an error when the build fails. Over time you can make it more declarative, if being imperative is adding a lot of toil.

The important thing to remember is that improvements should happen gradually in small chunks; you don't have to have a perfect cattle system out of the gate, but you should be working your way there.

I did 65k concurrent requests back in 2018 on a single core in Ruby 2.4/2.5 or so (see https://wjwh.eu/posts/2018-10-29-double-hijack.html) as long as each request doesn't do much. Having 6k open connections is not that much. Did you actually mean request/seq?

EDIT: I was curious on how many req/s modern Ruby would actually do for simple hello world, so I coded up the smallest Hello world example from https://github.com/rack/rack and ran it with the (default) Puma webserver, limited to 4 threads (and thus cores) with `-t 4`. According to `ab`, it averages around 8500 requests per second over a sample size of 100k requests. I didn't find out how to run rack apps with YJIT yet, but it seems reasonable to expect that to speed it up a bit further.
It seems to be a nonsensical answer produced by an AI?
I think these are good, but still too slow comparing to hand-writing.
Using data generally makes sense, or identifying specific reasons. If folks have lots of vague ‘but everyone really just doesn’t like it, but won’t say it’, it’s more generally just grousing about something uncomfortable but perhaps inevitable.
“I'm based in Europe if that matters.”

I would argue that matters a lot. Taxes and fees play an outsized role in financial success. You are asking this in an American centric forum but with lots of international members. The advice you get will be heavily skewed.

1. Read a lot. Especially books etc for your country.

2. Develop your own thesis. What do you believe to be true. How much money are you willing to put away each pay period? What do you want to save for. What is your risk tolerance? Only you can answer these questions.

3. Do something based on #2. You can adjust your thesis over time.

4. Pay for advice when necessary. Accountants and lawyers but be leary of investment professionals. Read what Warren Buffet says about helpers.
"The prison system we have is in dire need of reformation in general..."

The last line I found to be the most important. I taught reading and writing in both a state, and federal prison. The problem we have in America is not a rehabilitation issue, but a retribution issue.

In my opinion, the perception of prison for the fast majority of Americans is a place for retribution, not rehabilitation.

Until we change the mindset of prison as a place where someone goes to be rehabilitated, and not just punished, then maybe we can start thinking of more proactive, long-term strategies to reduce recidivism.

Until then, we are just warehousing inmates until their next recycle through society, and back to prison.
It's kind of an illusion that organisms reproduce. Populations reproduce. The real thing is the super-organism and the false idea is the organism.
From the very beginning you should have been asking how Benoit received the box. There were only a few people who could have given it to him, and one was shown destroying hers beyond repair.
Sorry to be cliched but do you think AI could make a difference here by thinking for us ?
Google and Facebook and Apple must be wishing they were so lucky that even after showing the undeniable success of their products their competitors still insist that it doesn’t work.
The real story here seems to me to be not that people burned their clothes to stay warm but that people in a place with fragile connections to the outside world had so little in the way of supplies to weather a relatively short period without food deliveries. I'm not blaming them, I assume that many of the affected people don't have the resources to keep a buffer stock.
Given that our PoV character are Blanc and Brand, when would we have seen any substantial reaction? To what end? (Bron doesn't want the other people there to think he killed her, who would he even talk to?)

"Why isn't he playing 5D chess?" has the same answer in the movie as it often does in the real world: He's actually just not that smart. This becomes especially clear after his reaction to Blanc pointing out he's basically set himself up to get murdered by any one of them.
> Why does your cohort want to force MIT to allow Nazis to march through their campus, but not force a baker to bake a cake for a gay couple

Honestly, there are many possible reasons to justify making such distinctions. The most obvious is that campuses are explicitly intended to be venues for free speech and debate among diverse views, while a bake shop is intended as a venue for the free expression of only the baker.
I am not impressed with Macbooks networking, or specifically the wireless on the Intel Macs. I've gone through three and ended up with such severe wifi issues, that I inevitably ended up switching to a wired dongle for anything serious/in need of stability.

Never really had a more fickle laptop as far as wireless goes. Only a VAIO VPCZ1 after ten years of abuse as a gaming machine/daily driver started to get close. Again though, that's after 10 years. A Macbook will manifest that behavior within the first year for me.

The frustration has gotten me to the point I'm reading up on USB/PCI-E/datasheets implementation/protocol details so I can actually try figuring out WTF could be the cause.
BEVs have a pretty massive infrastructure problem even in developed countries. Many people live in apartment buildings where you can't just use your own dedicated level-2 charger every night, or in places where the electrical grid just isn't up to providing enough shared ones. I think a (second) paradigm shift is still necessary, but hydrogen is the least likely alternative. Ammonia-based hybrids and especially swappable battery systems both loom larger in my mind, at least.
Thanks man! I found the same reasons as you did and thus was unable to conform to a desired system for note taking. I also had the tendency to overestimate my abilities and time to study hobbies which adds into the frustration.
Fedora ships only upstream kernels, so working out of the box with Fedora is the same as being in the mainline (Linus) kernel.
> Lichee Router 4A

It's becoming very common for people to use these devices as routers, so it makes sense to have two ports - one for wan and the other for lan.
I think part of the point of the movie was that EVERY character was a psychopath who prioritized their own interests over what would be true or best, and that scene shows that she’s not exempt from that
They certainly do get credit, and working together is not even close to plagiarism. However, I've read plenty of papers where the "author" put front and center in news articles and the like was no more than the person managing and editorialising a group of PhD students which did the actual leg work. Everyone gets credited in some way but there is no way to know for sure that the author listed most prominently has personally read and verified all the sources.

An overworked or overconfident PhD student could have plagiarised an article or log post, pretended it was their own work to hit the deadline and still get co-authorship on the publication, and convince the "author" that the magnificent work was all their own, "infecting" their coauthors without their knowledge. This is very easy if you have a good standing within your group and make no suggestion that you need to resort to plagiarism. Needing access to physical resources like rare books makes it even easier to hide your lies because validating such work takes a lot of effort.

During several plagiarism cases that have hit the national news here researchers had coauthored papers with convincing liars, expanding upon earlier work or taking a made up data set and applying real, proper methodology to it. Often the coauthors had to find out through the papers that their publications were at risk of retraction when a liar had been found out. I don't believe researchers are on the habit of checking every single line of text their coauthor writes for matches online because not plagiarising is the norm.
> there's going to be another massive asset bubble which will create tremendous inflationary pressure

Asset bubbles don't necessarily turn out in cost-of-living inflation, as we saw in the era of QE after 2008; it was inflationary for asset values, which kept on climbing, but prices goods and services were stable, remaining under the 2% target rate in the decade between 2009 and 2019.
> It’s silly theater. Like a lot of medicine was and is.

can you at least explain why it's "silly theater"?
"Only original data are stored in the vault; no copies are allowed anywhere" means no backups. As a user, I don't want that; I want my data to be available independently of the physical medium it is stored on.

Even more problematic is: What about data stored on disk, for example, and in memory? That's two copies. Is that allowed? If so, how does that meet the requirement of "no copies allowed"?
>This is why water reservoir levels are dropping all along the Colorado river.

This is very much a human made problem, but nobody is talking about it.

The flow rate through the dam has been increased to generate more power due to the lack of new baseline power generation capabilities. The demand comes from the shutdown of coal and gas fired powerplants across the west coast. The dam has to flow more water to generate more power and the water cannot be replaced fast enough.
Having my grandkids running my family business is nepotism? Whatever.
I forgot that one, it's even more story breaking than the rest of my list.
Ah! Makes sense.
Hydrogen has an even larger infrastructure problem and grid wiring is easier to deploy than pipelines or compressed gas supply chains.

I only see a big future for hydrogen in grid scale energy storage if it can be made competitive with batteries. It has the advantage of requiring less manufactured mass and costly materials to store more energy and perhaps would be better able to warehouse energy long term. You could reuse at least some of the natural gas storage and power generation infrastructure, probably with some upgrades to deal with hydrogen or a hydrogen / methane mix.
Don’t need them to burn for very long, cotton should have roughly the same energy density as wood by weight. Burning bags of cold clothes that don’t fit isn’t that bad of an idea.

Negative teens is brutal, even a well insulated house loses a lot of heat if you want it comfortable but there’s a big range between uncomfortable and dead. -15f to 30f is the same difference as 30f and 75f.
Agreed, Logseq has worked for me where no other note-taking system has (and I've tried a _lot_).

I believe it has spaced repetition cards built in, too.

It took me a day to grok the "structured" lack of structure, but once I did, it has become an invaluable tool. I just throw notes on my daily journal and add tags/links (same thing) liberally. The knowledge network is practically automatic and I don't fall into the trap of prescribing a hierarchical system. A massive boon for someone with clinically significant ADHD.

The only extensions I use are for cosmetics, all functionality I need is included out of the box.

My biggest complaints are the querying language (a form of datalog) and that macros don't replace the text but are rendered dynamically instead (limiting referential utility).
Thank you~~it sounds very interesting, I'd like to check it out. I'll take a look in the app store but might come back to bug you with the name.
The problem with the efuel story is scale. The ultimate claimed future capacity of that Chile plant is only enough to fuel one single commercial aircraft. It’s just way too much infrastructure for the output.
But they would burn terribly, clog your chimney, and are more effective when worn.
Making electric mandatory or banning ICE? Very different things. One gives electric a monopoly, the other doesn’t.
Ethically speaking, I think there are all sorts of things that just shouldn't be said, regardless of legality. I'm not sure if my personal sense of ethics is relevant though?
I think the only thing missing from the movie is that they should have established that Andi had a sister, and maybe allude to the fact she has a twin or very similar looking sister.

I think the twist was good actually, and you see why Miles was so shocked that Andi shows up to the party. That would have made the first hour of the movie more interesting.

An Obsidian license is $50. That'd mean a monthly income of $500. There's a good chance that means you're working by yourself, so I'll flag that Obsidian only requires a commercial license if the company has two or more people.

Paragraph 1 in the EULA - https://obsidian.md/eula - say "You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it to contribute, directly or indirectly, to revenue-generating, work-related activities in a company that has two or more people"
That’s literally a last several meters problem. It can trivially be fixed with a tax incentive for landlords to install chargers. Even installing simple wall plugs would be helpful since most EVs come with those chargers or they can be easily purchased. We have an EV that we trickle charge in our garage and that’s usually enough.

For hydrogen you have to do much more significant build out. Apartments already have grid connections.
FWIW, there is evidence it isn't just the CEO of Toyota who feels this way:

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/20/auto-execs-less-confident-in...

The irrational exuberance of the last several years is being met with a re-calibration of expectations across all industries.

An EV-Only future has very large headwinds and it would be foolish to make such a bet without any hedge.
