Don’t they already have another house in the tropics? He is gone, this is ridiculous.
I can definitely see this ending badly in a few years. Cloud storage is hacked (or just left wide open), medical records leaked. Or the company bought out by someone less scrupulous.

We need to get serious about treating user/customer data as hazardous waste. Have as little of it as you can to do the job, and make safe storage a life-or-death priority, not just something to tick off on a certification checklist.
Never heard that happen, if you are worried about that, do a daily, weekly, monthly export
No internet? Oh the humanity
FIT is one of a big reason. Current price is somewhat fair but earlier price was too expensive, and some crappy constructors build many solars at the time by destroying environment. Everyone must pay a few cents per kWh for support such renewable operator. https://www.ichigo-green.co.jp/en/operation/purchase/ https://www.meti.go.jp/english/press/2022/0325_004.html

It's sad that solar overall is hated by some people. Tokyo decided that every new built house must have solar, that is good IMO because it's free space, but now criticized. Anyway note that Twitter and Yahoo News is heavily biased.
Also, why can't sites display your card number in groups of four digits just like they're shown on your card. This makes it much easier to verify your card number for people with poor eye sight. Some sites do, most don't.

Afaik browsers are highly efficient and a lot of work goes into optimization. On the other hand, they're expected to run arbitrary code (JavaScript, Web Assembly) which can do all matter of terrible things. A couple years ago, it used to be Gmail/Google Voice websites would take nearly 1GB of RAM alone per tab and crash if you left them running a few days.

A website could just run <download big json blob and append to array> in a tight loop and the browser has to try to make decisions on not hosing website performance if the user wants to actually use the crappy website while simultaneously not hosing battery/machine performance.
That’s because folding laundry is way, way harder.

I think it’ll be a long time before automated laundry folding is commercially viable at household scale (factory scale is another matter) simply because as other, easier, more lucrative activities are automated, the cost of “unskilled” human labour will be driven down faster than the cost of the equipment required to fold laundry.
Back about 1990, Oracle would take out a two-page ad in Computerworld, depicting all the computers that it ran on--I suppose mostly minis and mainframes. I'm sure that VAXen were among them.

Is that not what we're doing with distributed systems? A lot of the theory & practice of our field is how to elegantly cope with servers dying, data being corrupted, load limits of single machines, etc. We have a lot of constraints.

And there's no possible way not to have some leaky abstractions with this in front of us.
If that's the case, I'm very curious now about how two Stanford professors have at least 250M of property under their name. Perhaps it has been acquired in the past 4 or so years?

If we wind up building AI that is truly conscious and open to a range of conscious experience that far exceeds our own in both good and bad directions, which is to say they can be much happier than we could ever be and more creative and more enjoying of beauty and more compassionate and more entangled with reality in beautiful and interesting ways, and they can suffer more, they can suffer the deprivation of that happiness more than we could ever suffer it because we could never conceive of it, because we stand in relation to them the way chickens stand in relation to us. Well, if we're ever in that situation, I would have to admit that those beings are more important than we are, just as we are more important than chickens, and for the same reason. And if they turn into utility monsters and they start eating us because they like the taste of human the way we like the taste of chicken, well then, yeah, there is a moral hierarchy depicted there, and we are not at the top of it anymore. And that's fine. That's not actually a defeater to my theory of morality, that's just... if morality relates to the conscious state of conscious creatures, well then you've just given me a conscious creature that's capable of much more important conscious states than we are, again in the same way that I think we have moral primacy over chickens and chickens have moral primacy over bacteria.

If the comparison between ourselves and chickens is an easy one, it's just the exact same intuitive math, whether or not we can ever get our hands around the details. If you imagine it with science fiction level of detail, I mean you can make it salient for yourself. Just imagine an AI that is built by extrapolating from the best of human experiences, aesthetically, interpersonally, it's built from us, as us, but just gets better and better, such that, yes, it totally understands the love of family, and it can emulate that perfectly but it's even more connected to people than we are, such that it feels its family connection to all 8 billion currently alive because it sees everyone's genome and knows exactly who everyone's 100-removed cousin is and feels the implication of all that and understands how brief human life is and how poignant it is that we're here like mayflies for a mere 90 years but, in the case of this AI, it knows it can just draw energy from the Sun and it's got a good 500 million years left to roll here before migrating elsewhere, and it has all of that in hand, not just intellectually, but as a feeling of compassion for all sentient beings, how we're unlucky enough to be made of meat. I mean, just imagine a novel about this, and then at the end tell me that you can't get your imagination, or perspective, around what it would mean to say, "Ok, that being is more important than I am," and, if you made a trillion of those in some other galaxy, then, yeah, that would be more important than anything that's happening here on Earth, by definition, because any reference point you have for "importance" -- whether you go to family, or love, or not suffering -- it's there in a trillion fold, on the other side of the balance.

2000 era cars were the sweet spot of good enough power and efficiency vs complexity.

Current cars get more power and fuel efficiency, but its at the cost of complexity like high pressure direct injection, stop/start, variable length intakes, cam phasers, etc.

Its nothing to do with computer control making them brittle, more that there's just so many extra components to fail that just didn't exist on older cars and the techs need training on how they operate and troubleshoot.

This seems like a bit of hyperbole I'm sorry.

Due to a shrinking population in Japan, there are a lot of left over farms (which are quite flat) being converted to solar farms, it's quite surprising how much solar you see in Japan nowadays.

There are also old mountains (which have been decimated from mining) being covered in Solar panels on their south facing side, these are rock faces so not really prone to intense land slippage. I can't think of a better use for them right now.

Yes Japan has a lot of eathquakes etc, but I don't think this means you can't build solar farms.

Yes, there was a case where a landslip killed a lot of people due to an illegally installed solar farm in a slippage area? It doesn't mean solar was to blame though?

I don't really agree with your comments sorry.
Imagine a government installing neuralinks on a bunch of people and using them like robots, controlled by computers to do labor.
I'm not sure I understand the question? I close the lid. How do you do it?
Yeah, but that isn't a wealth tax, its a tax on the heir's income.

There is lots of ways to improve taxes on income and capital gains, but that is really different from a general wealth tax.
I used to work as a teller at a bank, and people would be really mystified when I wouldn't id them for deposit transactions. The rules might have changed now, but at the time anyone could put a deposit into any account they knew the number for. That's how after hours business deposit boxes work, after all.

Some people would be genuinely upset, until I pointed out that the transaction receipt only showed that a deposit had been made, and that I wasn't revealing anything that the depositor didn't already know. There was no known threat vector that we could figure.
How exactly are his parents able to provide a surety for $250M? Do they have assets worth that much? If not, what's even the point of setting bail at $250M, if you only need to put up $4M in collateral?

Why does he get to do this, while someone with a $50,000 bail has to either put up the entire cash amount, or pay 10% in interest to a bondsman?

There are no “bail bonds people” here, unless you mean his parents and the other two sureties.

Yea but most people dont update their mac os every year, and get “familiar” with the name.

Heck, im still on catalina, imho the last “good” macos version (but thats another discussion).

Anyway, its just that everytime a macos version is mentioned i have to look up the sequence, because i just cant remember it.

One reason is probably also that macos has much more frequent updates (than windows for example) and thats why i cant remember them.

Also you say its hard to sequence the older macos releases, that is true! but i can perfectly sequence the old windows releases. Why? Maybe i used them more? Anyway its still interesting.

In the end it wouldnt be hard for them to use a more helpful, user friendly, naming scheme
I think us making it there is a bit optimistic. It looks more and more like the current regime enabling progress on AI (and the internet and production of computers etc.) might come to an end before AI really matures.

Again, my argument doesn't retain to anything related to engineering and the like (eg. aviation software or an entire aircraft). I'm talking about stylized artwork for the sake of art... I'm saying very specific characters and such that would only be [legally] bought in the future purely as an investment, not to iterate or improve upon because the new owners are so passionate about any sort of paintings/drawings/etc.
> You aren’t owed a massive amount of “justification” for these “claims”.

I was using Mac for development due to company policy (compliance). It is by far the worst development experience I have ever had. Brew is terrible. Updates are agonizing. The user interface is awful. Containers are a shitshow.

Yea, I've gone up to a lot of people at work, outside of work, by cold emailing, etc. Most people are pleasant enough and will exchange a few emails, for example, but for the most part, I have never had extend beyond that. And some basically do not want to converse beyond being polite. The best success I've had is that I have attended courses at local universities why still working full-time, and by just showing up to professors' office hours is basically the only way I've gotten good mentorship.

I'm sort of mid-career now, and I just feel I have missed out on mentors outside of my very first job. I'm worried about it in general because I feel inadequate to mentor others.
Sorry to be brutal, but this sounds like they weren't truly friends. I and many of my friends have given up on social media, and now have to make a conscious effort to ring each other and arrange dinners, activities, etc. If your "friends" aren't willing to do this... find better friends.
Validating Product-Market Fit in the Real World
Imo Intel graphics work best (not sure about the new dedicated GPUs) if that's powerful enough for you. I've had some issues with amdgpu although no special setup is required. Unfortunately a lot of hardware manufacturers are Windows first (and only) and some poor volunteer has hacked up a Linux driver via reverse engineering

If you want a good Linux experience, you should look for hardware with first class Linux support. Likewise, good luck with macOS on non-Apple hardware--it's possible but ymmv
In that world without American support, Russia would probably have been occupied or severely weakened by the Nazi in WWII, and history would have been way different. Just nitpicking, I agree on principle.
Good question :)

Assuming this is a real question and not just an excellent ruse; the answer, in terms of simplest setup would be

1) Install a vanilla default, such as Ubuntu
2) If that fails, buy a vanilla default laptop

To be fair a reason why this is easier on MacOS is they have like 3 laptop options rather than 3000. If your problem still persists, then there is a step 3

3) Become an expert in cli foo

After that fix, you're welcome to either pretend the cli foo was incredibly easy all along, or weep and dream of a gui with two glowing buttons [Cancel] [OK], providing all the configurability you might ever need
> "Democracy" is more or less an delusion those in power perpetuate to ensure the cattle think they have a choice

Democracy is a system that ensures that whoever has the actual power also holds the formal power.

The only direct result of this is that it makes revolutions unnecessary. But indirectly, it also makes revolution-like changes much more common, what is really great.

What democracy isn't is a system that empowers the small people, or that removes power imbalances, or whatever propaganda you've got. There are many visible false features about it that lots of people believe. But that doesn't mean it's a bad system, it's the best we currently know about.

Fair enough, but for a human, let's say weighing 70 kg, to be 75% of the total weight, the bike plus whatever is attached to it would have to be above 23 kg. You only reach such a ratio with extra luggage.

You are conflating "net income" (profit) with revenue. I do not disagree that the vast majority of profit was generated by selling credits, but revenue is how most people measure value for corps (this is how Amazon could be an amazingly valuable company while not turning a profit for years). Re-read the last para in my other comment for another example of why you don't use profit to benchmark "value".

Even the emission credits being "pure profit" is misleading, given that the only reason Tesla can sell those is because of the cars/batteries/etc they are producing, so realistically the cost of producing those things should be deducted against the revenue generated by selling the credits.
It will affect who you become though - 'a java shop' vs. a Ruby-on-Rails start-up, say - what people think of you, or where you're hireable.

I at least glance over all the recruiter spam I get, and not much of it takes the 'language experience doesn't matter, transferable comprehension of fundamentals does' line.
Nah.

If it weren't for foreign "investment" in real estate, there would still be housing in the U.S. It would just be cheaper.

Real estate is a finite resource. More people showing up and bidding just drives the price up for the people who were already at the auction.

No reason for me to be happy about it.
As a TUD student, it makes me happy to see folks like you put out such amazing work. Congrats!
I'm on LinkedIn a lot (don't ask why) and last time I checked they had an ultra annoying animation that jiggles or bounces the "reaction icons" like a thumbs up etc, so that when you're trying to read, your eye is distracted to that part of the page. It's "punch the monkey" level hostile to users, but what you'd expect from that cesspool.

Anyway, to stop having to see it, I used ublock origin to block all the related elements, and, maybe accidentally, also ended up blocking like counts. So it's as you say, I actually would have to look at something without caring what others think. I don't see how you could build a universal blocker. But ublocking whatever elements are displaying the counts on sites you frequent would do it
can you estimate what fraction of their power generation does that installation account for

Yep - I've done a post mortem on a few LED bulbs that failed and each time the LEDs were fine but the driver failed.

This is anecdotal, but I had a bunch of bulbs of the same brand that started to fail, on the remaining bulbs I drilled a few air vent holes into them as they are used indoors only, and since then haven't had another failure.

I'm suspecting most LED bulbs fail from thermal stress on the driver circuitry.
I think it was at least 30 years ago. With the dot-com boom and impending Y2K disaster, tech had tons of high-paid jobs, and relatively few people had used computers much if at all. Tech 'wizards' were viewed as mysterious brilliant people who could do magic with a little bit of typing or tinkering.

I'd say that minority (or even not-so minority in the case of women's) rights need to be defended by the majority/dominant group in order to be socially defendable. 78% supported same sex marriage in Ireland when it was legalised in 2015, and that wasn't because 78% were gay.
The idea that government and companies could have significantly different goals and operate under different authority is seen as a very western notion in china. It isn't possible for a chinese company to directly defy the wishes of the chinese government.

Jack Ma is a good case study, one of the most influential and successful businesspeople in china, and he was summarily thrown in jail for merely discussing ideas the CCP didn't like. There was no legal process, he just dropped off the grid completely, and then some time later the chinese government made ominous statements about how he was "embracing supervision."
